You will need the following items with you upon admission day

Admission to our hospital is carefully orchestrated through our admissions department. We take steps to ensure that all patient needs will be met and a smooth transition occurs.

What will I need in order to complete the registration process for admission to CMC?

  • Clothing — Although we will provide patient gowns you may bring a robe and slippers. You may be asked to bring in your own clothes when approaching discharge or working with the Therapy sta. When away from your bed you are expected to wear a bathrobe and appropriate foot coverings. Due to the hazard of falling on slippery surfaces patients are not allowed to be out of bed in their stocking feet.
  • Personal Items — Please limit what you bring to the hospital to clothing and personal care items. If there is an item that you feel will make your stay more comfortable please discuss this need with the charge nurse.
  • Spending money — We suggest that you keep no more than $5.00 in your room for small purchases. We are not responsible for lost money or other valuables brought into patient rooms. 1/18/2021 Admissions – Colusa Medical Center colusamedcenter.com/admissions/ 2/2
